Around 1900, the Canadian Rocky Mountains were merely viewed as an obstacle. Thanks to the ingenuity and passion of generations of Swiss Mountain Guides, this is no longer the case. The legendary Swiss Guides have conquered the highest peaks in daring first ascents, they have brought to Canada their mountaineering skills and expertise in mountain rescue and avalanche safety. They have instilled a mountain culture that has left a lasting legacy on the region. Swiss Guides in the Canadian Rockies -- Beyond Adventure tells the story of these iconic pioneers whose contributions to Canadian mountain culture will never be forgotten.
